| Description | OSLO — Norwegian voters appear to have returned their Labor-dominated government to office, narrowly endorsing Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg’s pursuit of expanded public services and rejecting angry demands by some of his opponents to crack down harshly on immigration.
According to official results with 99 percent of the votes counted early Tuesday, Mr. Stoltenberg’s three-party left-wing coalition won 86 seats in the 169-seat Parliament. That would give it just enough margin to continue as the only left-of-center government in Scandinavia and one of the few remaining in western Europe. |
